"I was on a hike in the side country of Steamboat Ski Resort when I took a moment to listen. [As] a native of NYC, I forgot how peaceful our planet is in its most bare form. To me, this is a little slice of heaven. An escape from the hustle and bustle of the Big Apple."

Komodo Island National Park, Indonesia

"I've seen some beautiful things and had amazing days in my many years of travel, but today ranks very near the top. We woke just before dawn on the top deck of our boat sailing from Lombok to Flores, Indonesia. As we approached Komodo Island National Park, a clear night full of millions of stars turned to daybreak as the sun seemed to pour like molten gold out of the horizon, tumbling in waves of pinks and reds and oranges around every landmass and spilling over the seas around us."
